This thread is full of fail and whiners.
Edit: To clarify:
1. adding a higher strength requirement would destroy dedicated xbowmen, what does a sniper need with he-man strength??
2. Why do we need to get rid of running xbows? I get one hit by most melee weapons, hell yeah I'm gonna run. If you don't like it, pick another target.
3. As has been said, xbows account for a very small % of all kills, why are we even having this discussion?
4. The over nerf of bows seems to be what started all this nerf arbalest crap. Bows need to be buffed back. Not all range be brought down to uselessness.
5. If you really want to nerf Arbs, tweak wpf requirements, dedicated xbows don't need a nerf, there are not many of us as is.
6. If these melee whiners get the arb nerfed, I think 2 handed weapons need to lose 30% speed and power when it rains also. Lets see if THEY mind that.
